Ingredients
1 banana, chopped into ¾ cup pieces plus 12 thin slices for topping
½ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
¼ cup hazelnut meal, almond meal, ground nuts, or graham cracker crumbs
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream for topping
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chocolate hazelnut spread, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, creamy, and well blended, about 2–3 minutes. Set the bowl aside.
Divide the chopped banana into twelve portions. Slice the remaining banana into 12 thin slices and set aside for topping.
Distribute approximately 1 teaspoon of the nut meal or graham cracker crumbs evenly into the bottom of each of twelve small glasses, bowls, or parfait containers.
Layer 1 tablespoon of chopped banana on top of the crumb crust in each container.
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture into each container, dividing it evenly among all twelve parfaits.
Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and place one thin banana slice on top.
Cover the parfaits and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the filling is firm and chilled, or until ready to serve.
